Insights into the Legislative Challenges in Congress and Lack of Focused Leadership
Legislation in Congress faces challenges due to outside pressures, media influence, and lobbying. The process of getting a bill passed involves dealing with external forces demanding action, such as threats of war or border issues. The legislative process in Congress is controlled by a small group within the party in power, limiting the visibility and consideration of good ideas from representatives. Lack of focused leadership and compassion has hindered efforts to broker deals and prevent unnecessary loss of life in conflicts like the one in Ukraine. Moreover, there is a failure to address basic questions related to national security interests and objectives, leading to a broken legislative process that does not always prioritize the American people's needs.
